Fruit Bats Have Oral Sex Too

Posted by samzenpus on from the pics-or-it-didn't-happen dept.

sciencehabit writes "Researchers at Guangdong Entomological Institute in Guangzhou, China, have observed oral sex for the first time in a non-primate. During intercourse, female short-nosed fruit bats lick the genitals of their partner, a possible ploy to increase copulation time. The discovery suggests there may be a biological advantage to fellatio."

    Yeah, but either way...the oral sex stops right after the bats/dolphins get married....

    But if they want to get worldwide attention with their bat cock sucking, then they'd better suck my cock too.

    Why, if you already have two dogs to do that for you?
